About the Author

My name is Josh 'The Darkness' Harkness. I've played Madden since Marshall Faulk was on the cover in 2003. While my specialty has always been more on the defensive side of the ball, I still have a vast amount of experience and success on the offensive side too. Most of my experience in Madden is in franchise mode. I mostly play with a group of friends, including Fred. Fred and I typically dominate the franchise leagues and rarely are not the ones playing in the Super Bowl. When we did not play each other in the Super Bowl it was because we decided to play in the same division for a higher quantity of intense games throughout the seasons.

I've also played in 32 man, online leagues and had success there, but no Super Bowl wins yet. I regularly make the playoffs and have a winning record in those leagues. By sharing my knowledge and experience, I hope to help you dominate your franchise leagues, online or offline, and have more fun playing Madden!
